First, there was a phone call. Then, an in-person interview with the food and beverage director. After that, an HR interview. They also check references from previous workplaces. Overall, it was a really easy process. They just want someone with basic knowledge of customer service in luxury hospitality.

You first have a formal chat with your line manager, then with the HR manager. After that, you might do a trial shift. Sometimes the order changes, but basically, they decide if they like you and think you have the skills. Honestly, some people just wing it and get hired, and yeah, some of them aren't great. But not everyone is like that, of course.
